    Note: Audio only version - Video available on Youtube early Jan 2026

    It's huge! (That's what she said)

    It's chaotic! (When isn't it?)

    It's not recorded remotely (Sorry what now?)

    Yes! It's the WTTSO Christmas Special with more cameos than an Austin Powers movie opening.

    Expect guests a plenty, alcohol even more a plenty, kazoos, games galore and Ross' Birthday celebrations as we work out how to kill the elf on the shelf once and for all!

    Join Ross & Simon with Guests Olly and Sam as they drink, discuss and call people up in their search for the answers you need.

  • Episode 58 - How do merfolk procreate?
    Dec 3 2025

    Send us a text

    Something smells fishy!! - Mermaid + Merman = Merbaby... but how!?

    We're talking physiology here and there's much to discuss.

    With guest comedian Paul McHugh, Ross and Simon take a deeply educational dive beneath the waves, and tackle the age-old mystery: how exactly do merfolk… make more merfolk?

    Prepare for an ocean of uncomfortable ideas, wildly unhelpful answers, and biological theories that would get us thrown out of any reputable marine institute (or an unreputable if we're honest).

  • Episode 57 - If Cinderella's shoe fit so bloody perfectly, how the hell did it fall off in the first place?
    Nov 1 2025

    Send us a text

    Foot fetishists ahoy! This episode is for you!

    Ross and Simon have been joined by Ross' mate Olly (yes really, he has some) to discuss glass slippers, pumpkins, fairy tales and Disney plot holes.

    Was the Fairy Godmother a dodgy cobbler with a glitter problem? Did Cinderella fake the fall for dramatic effect? And more importantly, what does this say about female gender roles throughout the ages?

    From magic to physics, this episode proves once and for all that true love might be blind, but it sure as hell isn’t blister-proof, and we're not talking about the lads hands for once.

  • Episode 55 - What would be the most useless superpower?
    Aug 29 2025

    Send us a text

    Is it a bird?

    Is it a plane?

    No! It's two twats and an international comedy person!

    Yes, this month Ross and Simon are once again joined by Michael Frankland and we're talking superpowers. More to the point, shit superpowers. Would you like to be able to fly but only 6 inches off the ground? Be able to speak to animals but only when they're asleep?

    The boys have a whole host of insanely useless super powers lined up for you along with the usual games like Sock or Crock and Asockalypse Now.

    So don your tighty-whities over your trousers (pants for the US), grab a cape (no capes darlings) and join us for a hyper-leap into the world of superheroes!

  • Episode 54 - What would your 10 commandments be?
    Aug 1 2025

    Send us a text

    Thou shalt not pass by this episode!

    Yes we're getting all biblical on your asses. The 10 commandments. Stone tablets containing the word of God, or in our case, of Jebus & Glenn Brayley.

    While Glenn goes down a road of semi-serious advice for non-sinners, Simon gives us the 10 commandments of the podcast itself.

    There are games galore & laughs a plenty, so strap in (yes I said in, it's not always filth here) & enjoy the ride as we tackle the Old Testament Socks style.

    Glenn Braley
    Glenn runs grass roots comedy nights in Bournemouth & is involved with developing local talent, comedians and promoters.

  • Socks Off - Summer 2025
    Jul 17 2025

    Send us a text

    This is not an episode

    You should not listen to this unless you want to know what will be happening over the next couple of months, or you just like the sound of our voices or something.

    Bit odd if you ask me.

    Anyway, has anyone seen Ross?

    I got this weird message from Valencio saying something about bondage?

    Better go and try to find him I guess.

    See you all soon!

  • Socks: On or Off? Episode 25 - Skip or Sing?
    Jul 10 2025

    Send us a text

    This week our Socks; Ross and Simon, are joined by Tyler the social media creator (see what we did there?) and they're posing another of our randomly selected would you rather questions to him.

    Which would be more awkward, to have to skip everywhere or sing everything?

    Either way, funerals will never be the same again!

    So which would you chose, and after listening did we change your mind?

    Let us know!
